Dude

I've used a cute new Pollycraft stamp for CC Designs today called Dude. And YES he's very Cool!


I decided to try to make the card a bit "grungy" for a 20 something surfer.  So after colouring him and making the card I used a small paint brush with white craft ink dipped in water and splattered over it. I was hoping for a surf spray kind of effect and I was pretty happy with how it turned out :)

Ingredients :
Stamps : Dude, Pool Party
Card : x-press it, crumb cake, Uncharted Waters (Glitz)
Ink : memento black, white, antique linen D.I
Other : Big stitched and pierced rectangles die, hemp twine, black pearls, copics

Copics used :
BG 0000, 000, 9, 10, 11, 72
W 00, 1
E 000, 00, 21, 50, 53, 55
R 20, 24. 30
Y 15, 23, 24, 28
YR 14, 16, 18

Millie

It's new release time again at CC Designs :)
There are a lot of fun, summery new designs and this cutie is one of my favourites.
It's a Pollycraft stamp called Millie.
Isn't she sweet?!






I decided to try making a watermelon for the card base and it's a Rocker Card - so it's fun and interactive too!  I was really happy with how it turned out.

I used the By DIEzyne Pierced Half Circles Dies.  I folded a piece of limeaid cardstock in half and used the largest die. Then I sponged old olive ink on the outside of it.  Then I used the next sized die to cut poppy cardstock and sponged real red on the outside and white in the middle.  This red section is cut in half. The seeds are actually made using the raindrops from the Little Cloudy Outline Die.

The sentiment is from a great new set called Pool Party.  It's full of great summery sayings, but they can be used all year round.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Millie, Pool Party
Card : x-press it, black, limeaid, poppy
Ink : memento black, olive, real red, white
Other : By DIEzyne Pierced Half Circles Dies, Little Cloudy Outline Die, white pen, copics
